    That's so Ronnie.

    Yeah, what's up with this "So Raven" thing? "So Ronnie" is the button this forum deserves.

    I can't find an example, but sometimes ronnie's hand positions default to kind of a T-rex thing

    As a fat guy who feels awkward a lot, I find Whomp! to be accurate a lot of the time, though I'm not as bad as fictional Ronnie is in many departments.

    Last night I had an incredible craving for McNuggets and fries, so I went and got some

    I was devouring them so enthusiastically, my girlfriend was literally unable to stop laughing

    I blame Whomp

    In the past, Ronnie's body hair provided the necessary insulation to prevent his normal tee shirts from turning into hawaiian shirts.

    Oh, so I should mention I got an e-mail some time, maybe a month ago

    A guy was begging to know why I changed one of my comics. The one where I was "making fun of CAD"

    I had an idea of what comic he meant, but I assured him it was just a jab at lazy comics in general, and I definitely didn't change it after the fact. However, he insisted that I made a comic that directly parodied the infamous miscarriage comic of CAD.

    Finally, he found the comic and sent it to me as proof of my original vision.

    Here is the comic I made.

    And here's what he sent me.

    I can only hope the PA guys have encountered that from their comic edit thread

    Best part is I'm pretty sure you posted an early version of that one and changed it because you felt it was too direct a parody of a completely different comic.

    It was before it went live on my website, but yeah. It used to be a lot more... cutting of a specific comic

    is there a webcomic in existence that doesn't have a CAD abortion edit floating around somewhere on the internet

  • EtchwartsEtchwarts Eyes Up Registered User regular
    The best part is, that would have actually been a pretty incredible jab at CAD

    Ronnie did you take that picture that is the background?

    If so what is it?

    I think my favorite CAD-jab is Tracy Butler's extremely(?) subtle one.

    I remember! I was there when we a less-direct parody was suggested. As usual, the webcomic thread gave excellent advice.

    Hello yes, this is my fear of needles too:

    2014-01-10-Poker-Joker.jpg
    The big needle became my world. It shaped the image of all needles into massive lances, savagely piercing the wounded. The gargantuan needles silently scream ''We are aiding you. Struggle not, lest you damage your veins, and they don't heal very well, you know.''

    Well, it was more like everyone said "HAH" and I was like "Eh, I'd better change it." and some were "NO DONT"

    Honestly the final comic is better, because the first was only really funny if you knew about the comic he was skewering.

    The original blast was a single panel with the same number of chat bubbles stacked vertically, and a lot more Web 2.0 type shading, if that helps.

    edit: I found it, and I lied about the Web 2.0 shading, but let's just say that would have cut it even closer

    Seems like more of a PA dig then a CAD one.

    But maybe because I forgot CAD even existed.
